I used to teach prenatal classes, and I also did sibling preparation classes, for the kids who were going to be present at the birth. This may be apocryphal, but it rings true. I can see a seven-year-old who'd been well prepared, and was thrilled by the experience, doing and saying something like this!

Kids say the darndest things don't they??Grandson is in t-ball this spring and I am hoping to see at least one game...they are always good for a laugh as long as the darn parents don't take it too seriously.Have a great day!:-D

Someone had emailed that one to me but it is always amazing the things kids say and how they explain the events of life. My 4-year-old grandson is just now getting into that sort of thing and he is hilarious. Hope it has cooled off for you folks by now. ec

As a retired middle wife I think this story is wonderful. More than one of the kids in a house have asked me if I had the baby in my midwives bag, so I could certainly see that. In fact my two daughters and our neighbor child would play midwife and give birth to stuffed animals. Quite cute, we thought.
